Given the variety of Turkish rugs in the marketplace, it’s not enough to simply want a Turkish rug within your home or office because there truly is so much more to this unique rug style. It’s also important that everyone interested in Turkish rugs put a considerable amount of thought into the kind of Turkish rug that will work best in the space you’re decorating.
It’s also important to keep in mind that you don’t necessarily need to put a Turkish rug on the floor, because these rugs are actually much more decorative than the majority of other rugs from around the world. Certain rugs, including many Turkish Kilim rugs, closely resemble tapestries in both thickness and beauty, which make them ideal for hanging on the wall and using as sofa covers.
As a general rule, there are two primary kinds of Turkish rugs: Kilim rugs and Hali rugs. A Turkish Kilim rug is typically characterized by its flat-woven texture, while Turkish Hali rugs are usually knotted very intricately. It’s widely believed from historians that the oldest Kilim rug originated in Çatalhöyük around 7,000 B.C. near the middle of Anatolia. Many experts agree that Turkish tribes introduced Hali rugs to Anatolian inhabitants some time during the 12th century, so needless to say there is an incredible amount of history associated with these beautiful area rugs!
During your search throughout our website for more affordable Turkish rugs, you’ll likely encounter several unique kinds of Turkish rugs. These unique types of Turkish rugs include the following:
1) Turkish Ladik Rugs:
These rugs are typically made using a prayer rug format, and they’re a very special type of Turkish Rug. Some of the most prized Turkish Ladik rugs boast an eye-catching rose/burgundy color that was derived from dye made from beetles found in the West Indies. There’s no denying the authenticity and traditional style associated with Turkish Ladik rugs, and we have countless options in all shapes and colors to support your preferences!
2) Turkish Yuruk Rugs:
Yuruk rugs are noticeably loosely woven and often have a distinct, sometimes eccentric design. It’s not uncommon for this type of Turkish rug to have a design with cultural and historical context, which subsequently may lead to a higher value and investment opportunities!
3) Turkish Melas Rugs:
These rugs are typically more conservative in terms of design compared to Yuruk rugs, but they’re by no means dull in detail. Turkish Melas rugs normally have geometric designs that are simply captivating, which is partly why they’re one of the most popular styles of Turkish rugs. These rugs normally come in either prayer rug or meditation rug format, and are sought-after because they often have light to mid-tones of green that are highly desirable.
4) Turkish Bergama Rugs:
Bergama rugs usually show off designs that involve multiple medallions, which make them easy to identify. These unique medallion designs are wonderful in terms of providing an added aesthetic value to any living, bedroom or office, and we can help you identify the proper size and color scheme that would accent your space perfectly!
5) Turkish Mudjur Rugs:
Turkish Mudjur rugs are usually the most formal option among Turkish town rugs, and they’re absolutely beautiful for any purposes. These rugs are often decorated with austere fields of red or fields that showcase a blossoming tree of life or a lantern. It’s very common for Turkish Mudjur rugs to represent a variety of cultural context that makes it very meaningful. These aesthetic meanings within the design of the area rug helps in terms of accruing in value over long periods of time.

Whether you are looking for machine-made Persian rugs or machine-made Oriental rugs, you will find the variety and quality you want, as you look through our inventory online. We guarantee the quality of our reproduction rugs, just as we do for our handmade rugs.

Machine Made vs. Handmade Area Rugs
Given the quality of the machine-made area rugs we have for sale, it is sometimes difficult for consumers to tell if they were made by hand or with a machine, especially if they have never bought this kind of rug before. With that in mind, we thought it would be helpful to mention some things you should keep an eye out for when you are shopping for reproduction area rugs so you can tell if a rug was handcrafted or machine made.
Keep the following in mind as you look for machine-made area rugs:
- Because of the way they are made, handcrafted rugs are usually more expensive than reproduction rugs. While there are exceptions to this rule, machine-made Persian rugs and machine-made Oriental rugs are often the more economical choice for people shopping on a strict budget.
- If a rug’s nap is made with polypropylene, polyolefin or a mix of synthetic fibers and wool, the rug is more than likely a reproduction.
- If a rug was produced in a western European country such as Italy or it is described as Belgium Oriental, it’s a safe bet it was machine made.
- If a rug has a tag with a manufacturer’s name on it, it is a sure sign the rug was made with machinery.
- The back of a machine-made rug is normally lacking the same colorfulness the front of the rug has.
- The back of a reproduction area rug has a distinctive overstitch pattern. This pattern is what holds the rug’s pile in place, not the individual knots that are used to make handcrafted rugs.
- The fringe on a handmade rug consists of the ends of the warp strings that are incorporated into the rug, whereas the fringe on reproduction area rugs is added after the rugs are almost finished.
Different Rugs, Same Quality from Rug Source
While reproduction area rugs obviously differ from handmade rugs in several key ways, you can expect the same high quality whenever you purchase a rug from RugSource.com — we guarantee it!

The Enduring Popularity of Shaggy Rugs
While some people associate shag rugs with1960's Americana, the truth is these rugs have been popular choices for home and business owners and interior designers for decades. Shaggy rugs are enduring classics for a variety of reasons, including their durability and versatility. Given their long-lasting nature, shag rugs are perfect for high-traffic areas and homes that have kids, pets or both. Because of their luscious feel, shag rugs are also suitable for bedrooms and even bathrooms.
Shaggy rugs are available in many shapes and sizes, which makes it easy for them to be incorporated into just about any room’s aesthetic. As you look over our selection of shaggy rugs, you will see our inventory includes shaggy rugs in a wide array of colors, which only adds to their versatility.
Types of Shag Rugs
Shaggy rugs are made in one of two ways: They are either hand-knotted or hand-tufted. When a shag rug is hand-knotted, a skilled craftsperson will hand-tie many knots per square inch to make the rug. The more knots a rug has per square inch, the denser its rug pile will be. To make a hand-tufted shaggy rug, a rug-maker will use a handheld tool to punch yarn through a canvas that is stretched over a frame. After all the yarn has been punched through the canvas, fabric or latex is glued on the back of the completed canvas and fringe is added to the rug.
Hand-knotted rugs can last many years when they are properly cared for. Like hand-tufted rugs, hand-knotted rugs are beautifully constructed and can be handed down from generation to generation.
Shaggy rugs are made with a variety of materials, both natural and synthetic. You will often see shaggy rugs made with wool, cotton, bamboo and even leather. Some of the synthetic materials that are used to make shaggy rugs include nylon, acrylic and polypropylene.
Shag rugs come in three distinct styles, including:
- Long Shag
- Short Shag
- Mini Shag
Long shag is similar to the shaggy rugs that were all the rage back in the 1960s. Short shag rugs are produced in the same manner as long shag rugs, but the fibers used to make them are only half as long as those used to construct a long shag rug. A mini shag rug has pile that is just like the pile you will find on a conventional rug.
You obviously have many choices to make if you are looking for shaggy rugs for sale. From choosing the type of shag, the method of construction and the color, size and shape of a rug, it is easy to get overwhelmed when you are picking a shaggy area rug. There is no reason to feel that way though, because the sales team at Rug Source is ready to help you. Give us a call or contact us online and we will help you find the shaggy rug that will add that extra layer of comfort, color and style you want your home or office to have.
